    How many decimals in the spoiler?

    I ones memorized 120 decimals, it was the first row of a poster with 8000 digits a friend had.

    Mats Bergsten (a swedish cuber who mainly do bld) ones was able to recite 9778 decimal places while juggling three balls!

    10,000 I reckon. Probably copy-pasted from ED.

    I just ran a Pi Competition at school for the 6th grade. The top student recited 500 digits. I recited 614 last year.


    Here are some inspirational Pi links.

    At 5 minutes the next one shows Daniel Tammet from Great Britain recite 22,000 digits of pi.

    You know, you should probably save that RAM in your head for algorithms...

    It is, but you never round pi - you always truncate it.

    By the way, the only real Pi Day was on March 14, 1592.

    The only two Pi Minutes were on March 14th, 1592 6:53 AM and March 14th, 1592 6:53 PM.
    I sometimes worry about my attention span but never for very long...

    Only? No. Most accurate? Yes.

    For example, in the year 15 AD, at 9:26.
